Interesting chart!
Democrats either want a free trip or understand the benefit of seeing first hand for themselves.
Many years ago when Buddy Carter was elected, I helped to arrange a similar visit for him and his wife, Amy. They both said it was one of the most informative and inspirational trips they had ever taken. (See 1 below.)
Meanwhile is Trump making a mistake by sending Sen. Paul versus Sec. Bolton to meet with
Iranian leaders? (See 1a and 1b below.)
From my perspective Trump's unorthodox policies have shaken up China, N Korea, Iran and Russia because in a variety of ways he has called their hand and sent clear messages that America is no longer a "patsy."
In doing so, there has been natural retaliation. The question remains whether Trump will hang tough and let his negotiating strategy play out or will he fold because a victory would have positive political meaning?
Our political election cycle versus the ability of our adversaries, who are governed by thuggish dictators, advantages them to weather storms. Thus, waiting us out remains a critical issue. Were I China, Iran, and/or N Korea I would do everything in my power to defeat Trump and help one of the radical Democrat candidates get elected.
One further issue Trump faces is Xi, Kim, Putin and the Ayatollahs neither play by the same rules nor do they observe the rule of law . More importantly they think nothing of breaking commitments which China did after agreeing to a 150 page document that addressed the issue of theft , trade violations and included enforcement powers.
With respect to the markets, until some solid and verifiable trade agreements are reached and The Fed articulates more clearly they will remain roiled by a host of uncertainties.
Stay tuned.

Since America is a melting pot, diversity has become the hue and cry of the Democrat Party. So far much of the diversity they have brought to Congress revolves around hatred of our Nation and a desire to bring about more change than even Obama was able to accomplish. (See 3 below.)

The Dayton shooter apparently was a registered Democrat.
Meanwhile, the retrieved manifesto of the shooter in El Paso is something I understand and seems written by one who is unstable . However, no matter my anger at what is destroying our nation obviously ,I do not believe murdering innocent people is a rational answer or response. (See 5 below.)
I do not own any kind of weapon and would favor a law that calls for back-round checks. That said I would not expect it would eliminate mass shootings but it might save lives and is a reasonable check.

1) Massive delegation of Democrats arrive in Israel despite efforts by far Left
By HERB KEINON
House Majority leader Steny Hoyer is set to arrive in Israel on Monday at the head of a massive delegation of 41 Democratic representatives, despite efforts by radical left-wing groups to pressure congresspeople not to join the trip.
The trip – meant primarily for freshman representatives – is organized in August of each non-election year by the American Israel Education Foundation, a charitable organization affiliated with AIPAC.
“I am pleased to join so many House Democrats in traveling to Israel to reaffirm our support for a critical US ally and to continue learning about the opportunities and the challenges facing Israel and the Middle East,” Hoyer said in a statement. “Seeing the region firsthand and meeting with key Israeli and Palestinian leaders gives Members insights into a region that is vital both to our own national interests and to global security.”
A Republican delegation expected to be of a similar size is scheduled to arrive on Friday. That group will be headed by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
There are currently 235 Democrats in the House, meaning that 17.5% of them will be in Israel for a week beginning on Monday.
The Democrats came despite abundant press coverage given to the pointed refusal by high-profile freshman congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to participate in an AIPAC affiliated trip. The radical-Left groups IfnotNow and Code Pink lionized the decision of the congresswomen, and in a very public campaign called on other representatives to do the same, and organized online petitions to get them to “skip the trip.”
The fact that so many Democrats decided to come on the trip, despite intense efforts to the contrary at the grassroots level, is viewed in Jerusalem as a sign that the Democratic party leadership is keen on showing that the party remains strongly supportive of Israel.
According to the statement put out by Hoyer, the delegation will meet with senior Israeli and Palestinian government officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, opposition leader Benny Gantz, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
The group, the statement said, “will also meet with young Palestinian entrepreneurs, Israeli civil society leaders, and peace activists. During the trip, members will visit Israel’s borders with Lebanon and Syria and see an Iron Dome battery. The delegation will also visit important historical and cultural sites, including the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial.”

1a) Danger ahead: A US-Iran 'deal of the century'
I fear that Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign will be cut short before Iran’s leaders truly have no choice but to capitulate to Western demands, and that the Iranians will bamboozle the West into another bad deal.
Until now, the Trump administration has acted with wisdom and tenaciousness against Iran, crashing the disastrous nuclear deal that President Obama signed with the ayatollahs in 2015 and forcefully sanctioning Iran’s terror apparatus and oil exports.
Alas, there are signs that President Trump is getting ready to ease the pressure and bargain for a new deal with Iran. My fear is twofold: That Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign will be cut short before Iran’s leaders truly have no choice but to capitulate to Western demands, and that the Iranians will bamboozle the West into another bad deal.
As Iran expert Prof. Ze’ev Maghen has said, “The Iranians win the moment you enter the negotiating room with them.” Unlike the eager negotiators of the West, Iran’s resolute front men always know how to weasel their way into a sweet deal on their terms.
This is not the time to back away from the press-ganging of Iran. Because of US sanctions, Iranian oil exports have fallen by at least 400,000 barrels per day since May of this year, and by two million BPD since April 2018, leading to a whopping drop of $50 billion in the regime's income.
The ayatollahs are feeling the strain, which explains their recent threats and provocations. These include the downing a US drone in the Gulf, the seizing of a British oil tanker and the targeting of other ships, renewed uranium enrichment at forbidden levels, and ballistic missile launches in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
It seems that Iran can no longer afford to “wait out Trump” on the assumption that he will be replaced as US president in 2020 by a more accommodating Democratic leader. Ayatollah Khamenei needs to get Trump to lay off, now.
Trump mustn’t do so. There is much more that can and must be done to truly bring Iran to its knees. Dr. Udi Levi, a former Israeli government official and top expert on financial sanctions, last week published a study via the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, which details the necessary next steps. These include blocking Iran’s sanctions-busting export routes through Turkey and Qatar and hitting at Iran’s foreign currency reserves by enforcing civil court rulings that award terror victims billions of dollars in damages.
The goal is to force Iran to relent on all five key issues in dispute: First, a complete end to the Iranian nuclear military program, including all uranium enrichment and plutonium production – with no sunset, ever; second, a truly intrusive international inspections regime – not the jokingly weak to non-existent regime stipulated in the JCPOA; third, an end to Iran’s ballistic missile development program; fourth, an Iranian retreat from the forward bases in Syria it is building to challenge Israel; and fifth, the complete cessation of Iranian financing of Hamas and Hezbollah military capabilities.
Short of this, a deal with Iran will be dangerous and unsustainable. Yet, the Iranians already are playing their usual games, offering up-front phony concessions, like an end to oil tanker interceptions, in exchange for up-front American concessions, like an end to most oil export sanctions.
“This how the Iranians play the game,” warns Iran expert Dr. Emily Landau of the Institute for National Security Studies. “This is how they twist things, making it seem there are concessions when there are absolutely no concessions at all.”
But Trump has been so solid in confronting Iran and in support of Israel, you might object. Why suspect softness on Iran now?
Because the music being played lately in Washington is off-key. First, Trump backed-away from responding militarily to Iran’s downing of that top-notch US surveillance drone. Then he authorized Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to talk to Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, in what seems to be a pre-negotiation. The super-isolationist Rand Paul, of all people!
Now, Trump has extended five critical sanction waivers from the Obama era; waivers that should be abruptly ended. These waivers allow Russia, China, and European countries to continue civilian nuclear cooperation with Iran, in the most problematic places: the underground Fordow enrichment facility, the Bushehr plant, the Arak complex, and the Tehran reactor.
As a result, my political antennae are buzzing with warning signals. Trump, I suspect, is shying away from the conflict that might imperil his re-election chances, such as a heightened confrontation with Iran. The other conflict that could most harm his re-election campaign is a trade war with China which tanks the US economy. Here too, I think that Trump will demur because of the election.
Worse still: Trump’s neo-isolationist instincts and abhorrence of foreign wars, alongside his penchant for grand deals that prove his greatness, make me worry that he could be tempted into a settlement with Iran that falls far short of what is necessary.
In fact, there is a pattern in Trump’s management of US policy toward China, North Korea, the Palestinians, and now perhaps also with Iran. First comes economic pressure, then the offer of quickie talks in pursuit of a “historic” agreement; an agreement that could be knottier and more nebulous than valuable.
I hope I’m mistaken. But I’ve seen the soft signals and heard the indulgent musical notes before. In 2013, a top American diplomat, Ambassador Thomas Pickering, showed up in Israel asking for understanding of a “nuanced” and “sophisticated” view of Iran. Iran is emerging as a significant regional and global actor that must be engaged and accommodated, he argued. And there were “moderates” in Tehran, he nonsensically postulated, that needed to be “bolstered” by a deal with the West.
Then Washington wags close to the Obama administration like the Center for a New American Security and the Atlantic Council began seeding diplomatic and political discourse with messages of capitulation to Iran, paving the way for a climb-down from Obama’s declared policy of halting Iran’s nuclear drive. They outlined “a comprehensive framework to manage and mitigate the consequences of a nuclear-armed Iran.”
In other words, stopping the Iranian nuclear effort already had become a passé discussion. The symphony was playing from different sheet music all-together.
The intellectual music of capitulation grew throughout 2013 and 2014 and rose to a crescendo in 2015, legitimizing Obama’s sell-out of Western and Israeli security interests in the JCPOA deal with Iran.
Could we be looking at a repeat musical performance now? I certainly hope not.
Trump has earned the benefit of the doubt with his stalwart stance against Iran to-date. Still, Israel must be wary, and counsel steadfastness and caution. Trump should ramp-up the pressures on Iran, not dial them down.
And when he starts talking to Tehran, he should send National Security Adviser John Bolton with some hard-nosed New York Persian taxi drivers or Shas-style negotiators at his side – not Rand Paul.
1b)Weekly Commentary: Reality Check - Israel Does NOT have to sacrifice itself
to President Trump
If his "base" thinks he is screwing Israel he is screwed
By Dr. Aaron Lerner
Towards the end of President Obama's first term PM Netanyahu planned to
launch an attack against Iran. The logic was that while Mr. Obama would be
furious that he would restrain from punishing the Jewish State out of
concern over the impact of such a move on his re-election.

furious that he would restrain from punishing the Jewish State out of
concern over the impact of such a move on his re-election.
And that was with President Obama's "base".
So let's consider the case of President Trump.
His reelection hinges on the support of pro-Israel elements in his "base".
Simply said, if his "base" thinks he is screwing Israel he is screwed.
And while Mr. Trump and his team may have fantasies about making history
with some fantastic deal - and they may have spent many hours with a smiling
and nodding Binyamin Netanyahu as they described their plans - the
overarching goal of being reelected will temper their reaction to any
Israeli rejection of elements of the "deal" AND any unilateral action that
might be seen as killing it altogether.

Yes. Mr. Trump and his team will be angry. But they aren't idiots.
They know full well that the only reason their critical pro-Israel base
isn't furious over the "deal" is that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
continues to smile and nod when they talk about it.

that critical pro-Israel base will understand the message.

From day one President Trump's sound bite has been that it's up to the

So he will have no problem to find the way to move on rather than act
against the Jewish State.

So what else is on the agenda?
Iran?
Anyone with a scintilla of understanding of the region will concede that the
cooperation between Israel and neighbors in initiatives and actions against
Iran are in no way effected by Israeli-Palestinian relations. And that's
before taking into account the impact that Palestinian support for Iran has
had on their standing.

No.
Israel does not have to sacrifice its interests just to please Mr. Trump and
his team.

And yes. I recognize that it isn't pleasant for the Prime Minster of Israel
to cross Mr. Trump. But enduring unpleasant experiences is part of the

2) The Dream Team Loses to the Nobodies
By Victor Davis Hanson
Posted By Ruth King
When figurehead Robert Mueller likely allowed Andrew Weissman to form his special counsel team to investigate so-called charges of Russian collusion involving Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and the Kremlin, Washington elites became bouncy. The high-profile legal “powerhouse” lineup immediately looked like a sure-thing—an elite slaughter of the yokels.
As they perused the résumés of the New York and Washington prosecutors, and the Wilmer-Hale veterans, reporters were ecstatic that the supposedly straight-shooting Republican Mueller had turned his investigation into what the media soon boasted was a progressive “dream team” of “all-stars,” a veritable “hunter-killer team” of get-Trump professionals. One would have thought mere names and credentials win indictments, regardless of the evidence.
The subtext was that Trump had all but met his Waterloo. Indictments for conspiracy, obstruction, and worse yet inevitably would follow, until Trump either resigned in disgrace or was impeached. The media counterparts of the dream-team on MSNBC and CNN would make short work of the rubes. On air law professors and legal analysts who knew “Bob” Mueller (the same ones who assured us that “Jim” Comey was a “straight-shooter”), after all, swore this would be true.
Almost all the all-stars were not just liberal but “correct” as well. Many were either Clinton donors; a few in the past had defended either Clinton aides or the Clinton foundation. Many also had been tagged as Department of Justice future superstars. Their tony degrees seemed designed to spell the doom of the buffoon Trump.
Wired immediately boasted of Mueller’s team, “From the list of hires, it’s clear, in fact, that Mueller is recruiting perhaps the most high-powered and experienced team of investigators ever assembled by the Justice Department.” If “high-powered” seemed the signature adjective, then “ever assembled” was supposed to sound downright scary.
A Vox headline on August 2, 2017 summed up the progressive giddiness of the time: “Meet the all-star legal team who may take down Trump.” The subtitle offered more snark: “Special counsel Robert Mueller’s legal team is full of pros. Trump’s team makes typos.” Get it? Young-gun pros against the so-sos.
So, whom exactly did Trump enlist against the all-stars?
An NPR editorialist in June 2017 condescendingly tried to explain Trump’s hapless plight: “If you asked a Washington insider to come up with a legal dream team for a situation like this, it’s highly unlikely this is who they would come up with. But President Trump came into office as an outsider and continues to operate that way, and in a way his legal team is a reflection of that as well.”
What is “this” and who exactly is “who”?
Trump’s Team: Not a Harvard Law Degree in Sight
The 75-year-old Rudy Giuliani who appeared in seemingly nonstop television appearances was said to have lost a step and to have confused punditry with jurisprudence. He was joined by 69-year-old Ty Cobb, an oddly named, rotund eccentric looking barrister with a handlebar mustache—almost a caricatured contrast with the suave, cool, and much younger Mueller head honcho, Andrew Weissmann.
John Dowd, a 78-year-old lawyer with degrees from Southern Benedictine College and Emory, seemed a slow-talking, septuagenarian who looked and acted his age. Few then imagined Dowd would eventually play something akin to the Wilfred Brimley closer role in Absence of Malice.
Sixty-three-year old TV and radio host Jay Sekulow, a frequent Christian Broadcast Network and Fox News Channel commentator, a Christian convert and Messianic Jew, with degrees from Mercer and Regent universities, and past chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, rounded out the original team—and, of course, he was snidely ridiculed as a media operator who would be chewed up when he finally went mano-a-mano with Weissmann’s killers. My God, Sekulow (Mercer and Regent) up against Weissmann (Princeton and Columbia)!
The final insult to the swamp was when Trump in autumn 2018 brought in the husband and wife team of Jane and Martin Raskin as replacements and additions. The Washington Post headline could only tsk-tsk: “Trump needed new lawyers for Russia probe. He found them at a tiny Florida firm.” “Found them” and “tiny”?
The media salivated over the supposedly obvious contrasts. The average age of Trump’s original old four-man legal guard of Cobb, Dowd, Giuliani, and Sekulow was 71. Not one had a Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, or Stanford law degree.
Vox also sniffed of Michael Bowe and Sekulow, “The last two are known more for their time on TV than their time in the courtroom, and don’t have anywhere near the background Mueller’s team boasts to take on this challenge.” Vox apparently saw the fight as a replay of The Verdict, this time with the suave James Mason winning.
In fact, aside from age, looks, and degrees, the outnumbered Trump team was far more experienced than their counterparts, and it was sensitive to the fact that the legal agendas of the Mueller special counsel investigation were little more than pure politics, media hype, leaks, and had little to do with finding out with whom, if any, the Russians had been working to warp an election and sandbag a presidential campaign.
Mueller’s Team of Blunderers
Had the special counsel team been less biased, its lawyers might have discovered within days that the only interventionist foreign national who was actively recruiting Russians as nefarious sources was Christopher Steele, a Clinton operative paid through the firewalls of the DNC, Fusion GPS, and the Perkins Coie law firm to compile a tabloid dossier on Trump, to leak it to old friends and new contacts in the DOJ, FBI, and CIA and thereby to sanctify and disseminate his dirt to the media and tar the Trump campaign—and later an elected president’s transition and administration.
Whereas the Trump team sought to defend their client from charges they knew were false, the Mueller team sought to destroy Trump first, and worry about the evidence later. That proved an enormous disadvantage from the outset. One side saw it as a legal matter of proving an absence of guilt, the other as a political effort to fuel impeachment.
In terms of blunders, they turned out to be all Mueller’s. The Lisa Page-Peter Strozk text trove was an ungodly disaster for Mueller’s team—revealing supposedly professional FBI dreamers of his media-hyped team as adulterous and self-obsessed Washington insiders, with a buffoonish hatred of Trump and schoolyard disdain for his supporters.
That Strozk revealed himself as a blowhard and wannabe in his secret notes to Page was all the more damaging given that he was a sort of swamp FBI everyman. Indeed, Strzok popped up everywhere anything proved suspicious. Strzok convinced Comey to change the wording of his report on Hillary Clinton. Strzok likely initiated the setup of George Papadopoulos. Strozk gave away the game early on with his text to Lisa Page that there was “no big there there.” Strozk interviewed former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and got him to talk without a lawyer. Strozk met with Andrew McCabe to dream up ways of ruining Trump. The most confident and compromised of Mueller’s investigators had always been the most ubiquitous.
That Mueller staggered Page’s and Strzok’s forced departures and never told the media of their unprofessional romantic relationship and embarrassing texts only made “Bob” seem more partisan and less transparent.
Much of the Mueller team had proved indiscreetly partisan before coming aboard in broadcasting their anti-Trump venom. Weissmann had attended a Hillary Clinton “victory” party on Election Night (odd, given the Clinton-bought dossier would become a subtext to his entire investigation) and sent an egotistical email congratulating acting Trump attorney general and former Obama appointee Sally Yates for her stonewalling of a Trump executive order. Was that Ivy League cunning?
No Crime, But Plenty of Innuendo
From the outset Trump’s team was convinced that their client neither had colluded with Russia nor had obstructed an investigation of a crime that did not take place. He had turned over almost everything the all-stars wanted, and freely allowed the White House staff to testify.
From the beginning of the investigations, his lawyers sensed that the Mueller team quickly had concluded there was no crime, but there might be lots of innuendo, rumor, gossip, and Trump antics to be had that could be jammed into their final report and thus provide fodder for impeachment hearings.
When William Barr arrived in February as the new attorney general, replacing the recused Jeff Sessions and the buskin Rod Rosenstein, the Mueller dream team charade finally dissipated. Barr was an old veteran attorney general who did not much care what was said about him, and sensed from the start that Mueller’s team, far from being all-stars, were nothing but rank partisans uninterested in the commission of felonies by an array of Obama officials—deceiving a FISA court, leaking classified memos, lying under oath to congressional committees, and inserting informants into political campaign. Instead, they were obsessed with perjury traps, nutty things like the ossified Logan Act and the Emoluments Clause, and hounding a minor cast of transitory Trump aides.
At about the same time, a similar cultural fantasy was occurring about Representative Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), head of the House Intelligence Committee, whose chairmanship passed to fellow Californian Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) when the Democrats assumed control of the House in January.
Nunes, the scion of Portuguese immigrant dairy farmers from California’s San Joaquin Valley, had first uncovered much of the Obama Administration’s weaponization of the Justice Department, FBI, and CIA and their obsession with destroying Trump through informants, warped FISA writs, unmasking, and leaks to the media of classified documents.
In fact, much of what the country learned from 2017 to 2019 about the various machinations of Glenn Simpson and his Hillary Clinton contracted Fusion GPS skullduggery, the antics of FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and the compromised roles of John Brennan and James Clapper was due to Nunes’s relentless digging, supported by a top-notch staff and likewise committed Republican colleagues.
Snobbery and Unmerited Elitism
One would never have known that, however, from the Washington media. They wrote off Nunes from the start as some sort of straw-in-the-mouth hick from Tulare—in obvious contrast to his Democratic better, the haughty Adam Schiff, Harvard Law Graduate and perennial prevaricator who serially hit the CNN and MSNBC circuit to flat out lie that he had the Russian collusion goods on Trump and the walls of indictments and impeachment were closing in each day.
Roll Call’s David Hawkings dismissed Nunes as a bumpkin: “The match between his backstory and his prominence seems wholly incongruous and helps underscore the perception that Nunes is cavalierly playing at a very high-stakes game while in way over his head.” Peter Lance of the Huffington Post sniffed, “There’s certainly nothing in his résumé that would have qualified him for the post.” In the elite world of the Left, “résumés” are everything, past physical hard work and innate intelligence nothing.
MSNBC analyst Elise Jordan also apparently thought farming made Nunes inept: “Why are Republicans trusting Devin Nunes to be their oracle of truth? A former dairy farmer who House Intel staffers refer to as ‘Secret Agent Man,’ because he has no idea what’s going on.” If the media thought Nunes was the out of place oaf Al Czervik, they never caught on that Adam Schiff was “Caddyshack’s” real loser, the smarmy and incompetent Judge Smails.
Snobbery and unmerited elitism characterized the entire collusion hoax and Mueller boondoggle. But being progressive, woke, and highly credentialed is not synonymous either with intelligence or wisdom. Just as Trump nobodies destroyed Mueller’s somebodies, and just as Nunes the farmer outperformed Schiff the Harvard law graduate, so too Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders each day squared off against Jim Acosta and a mediocre Washington press corps.
Journalists and Hollywood has-beens leveled the same old-same old cultural and class invective at Sanders: “Slightly chunky soccer mom,” “Organizes snacks for the kids’ games,” “Fake eyelashes and formal dresses,” “More comfortable in sweats and running shoes,” “To listen to her pronounce ‘priorities’ is akin to hearing the air seep out of a flat tire, and she leaves half of the consonants on the curb,” “She burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye,” and “Maybe we should take her children away and deport her to Arkansas.”
In sum, the comical effort to destroy President Trump was a bad replay of the cultural cluelessness of a haughty Hillary Clinton in the last days of the 2016 campaign—the Ivy League prima donna, ensuring her “landslide” to come by futilely campaigning in Georgia and Arizona, fueled by the “analytics” of her whiz kids, while the orange, combed over, and uncouth Trump at her rear played the fox in her blue-wall henhouse. Was it Ivy League smarts to label roughly one-quarter of the country “deplorables” or to go to West Virginia to tell the impoverished they would have no more coal jobs?
There is always a civilizational elite of sorts, one based on merit, and it is often divorced from its counterfeit counterpart predicated on aristocracy, credentials, titles, and privilege. Real elites from all walks of life are rewarded for their singular achievement not for their empty reputations and media hype.
The last three years have been a painful relearning of that most obvious but forgotten truth that it is what we do rather than who we say we are that truly matters. That the lesson was lost on self-described egalitarians and social justice warriors is the most ironic lesson of all.

3) The New Diversity in Congress
Several months ago, the 116th Congress was sworn in, and all day long, the media was fawning over the “remarkable diversity” of the new Democrat members. It was a day of “firsts,” we were told repeatedly. While the new Democrat majority offers many members of note, we want to highlight a few “firsts” who are examples of the “diversity” that was sworn in the current 116th Congress.
Here are our Top Most “Diverse” House Freshmen:
#1. Ilhan Omar
The first person who married her brother to commit immigration fraud ever to be elected to Congress. Omar is also the first open supporter of female genital mutilation to ever be elected to Congress. Such amazing diversity!
#2. Rashida Tlaib
One of the first Muslim Brotherhood-linked and anti-Semitic candidates to be elected to Congress. She also claims to be a Palestinian – not American. Wonders never cease. Also has a potty mouth — using the term"mother f***er" for the president.
#3. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Where do we even begin? Let’s just say she is the first person elected to Congress who lied about being from the Bronx, and thus, made up her life story. She’s also an overt Marxist, in case you forgot.
#4. Abigail Spanberger
The first substitute teacher from an Islamist school (nicknamed “Terror High”) ever to be elected to Congress.
#5. Donna Shalala
Rep. Shalala was HHS Secretary from 1993 to 2001 under Bill Clinton and worked from 2015 to 2017 at the Clinton Foundation, and in 2016 she admitted in an interview that some significant Clinton Foundation donors received “courtesy appointments” in the Clinton State Department. To top it off, apparently she can’t let go of politics: at 78, she’s the oldest female House freshman in history.
#6. Krysten Sinema
The first bi-sexual atheist to be sworn into Congress. She refused to take the oath of office on the Holy Bible.
These are just a few examples of the “firsts” that the media has been celebrating, those who apparently show an open disdain and animosity for America as we’ve known it for over 200 years.
...And they all represent the Democrat party.

4) The Fed will drop rates again, but at this point, lower rates only impact psychology, not investment decisions. Rates are already so low that the after tax cost of funds is not the deciding factor. It is uncertainty, and another Fed rate cut will help lift the psychology that the Fed will do what it can. Powell said tariffs do not have a major impact on GDP, but it is the uncertainty they create that matters. This new tariffs increase will just increase the anxiety. The Fed now has no choice but to cut again, and sooner rather than later. However, keep in mind what else he said. There is nothing at all which gives rise to a fear of a recession in the near term. Consumers continue to spend. Factories may be much slower and housing, but so far that has not had a big impact on GDP. Corporate debt levels may be worrisome, but with rates so low, it is very manageable. When talking heads whine about tariffs, they have zero response when asked- what would you do. Same for the Dem candidates. Nobody has any better idea nor do they even try to put one forward. Biden surely has no answer since Obama did nothing for 8 years. It seems clear now the Chinese are going to wait out Trump. They are not going to give on the key issues of IP theft. Meantime China will lose many more producers who are moving out, and the Chinese economy will continue to falter. They can support it with more infrastructure spend, but that only goes so far. The small manufacturers are in real trouble, and that is a huge issue for China. There will also not be the cash flowing into China to support their Belt and Road deals, and their military buildup. Meantime the EU just sits by doing nothing at all about Chinese violations of WTO, IP theft, etc. At the G 20 they told China they did not approve of what China was doing, but Xi just ignored them because he knew they were toothless. That is why Trump does not include the EU in talks with China. They will not take a tough stand, just as Merkel would not stop the pipeline with Russia, nor the violations of the nuke deal with Iran. They are weak and only care about trade to stave off recession. Trump cannot stop now. He is the only hope to stop China. If he is not reelected China wins, and the world will pay a heavy price. It is an existential threat to the US. Now we wait for 18 months.
I always find it interesting that when the Dems spout BS about whatever, not a single reporter says, that is not true, or what better plan do you have other than political platitudes about tariffs. Truth is you cannot trust the Chinese at all, and they are playing games. This is why I said two years ago, Trump may be a really bad guy who cannot be trusted, but now we have our own really bad guy who understands how to play the same game as Putin and the Chinese, or Iranians, instead of the clueless, naive Obama, Kerry, Biden. Just imagine Biden, or Warren or Harris dealing with China. They would be squashed. I had thought, as did many people, the Chinese would do a deal, but now that seems wrong. They will wait until Nov 2020.
Consumer balance sheets are in good shape. The real issue is capital investment, and that is where uncertainty makes a difference. All the BS from Harris and Pocahontas and the press about the economy not working for so many, is defied by facts, which are in short supply at the debates. The low end wage earners are far better off now than under Obama/Biden. Not even a close comparison. And what is the Dem solution-give away more and raise taxes on the employers so prices and unemployment rise and wages stall. This is what happens when you let politicians run the economy. They have no concept of profit motive, or economics, or anything about running a business. They think attacking corporate profits is a solution???? They are idiots. No moderator asks-- what happens if you try to break up companies, put oil companies out of business and insurance companies, raise taxes on corporations and taxpayers start companies and who create jobs. Duh. The economy collapses. The stock market crashes. The government is in court on dozens of cases trying to screw stockholders by trying to break up companies. Unemployment goes to 20% or more. Forget the tens of trillions more in deficits. The dollar crashes. The power grid has outages while the battery back- up is inadequate. Nobody starts a new business and capital investment stops cold. Other than that, how did you like the show Mrs Lincoln. I knew more about business and the economy in tenth grade than these imbeciles. At least I had a lemonade stand when I was a little kid. It was so insane I turned off the debates after a few minutes as did many people I know, including far left friends..
Recent research shows that 55%-58% of all components in the Fed measure of inflation are now unaffected by the normal cyclical events they once were. That means, over half the components have declined in price due to technology, Amazon, or world economic factors, so the Fed looking for higher inflation may be chasing a ghost. For example technology has caused the price of many products to drop, especially when you factor in the processing power of devices, or the ability of cable or telephones to deliver more services for less, or not much more cost. Much greater use of generic drugs has held down those costs despite what politicians rage about. This may be some part of why the Fed target of 2% in a rising labor shortage situation is not getting them where they want to be. Other factors like the slower world economy, fracking causing a more than adequate supply of oil, and declining interest rates in many countries, larger container ships and automated warehouses materially lowering logistics costs, also contribute to lower costs of production and sale. This might mean that we are in a low inflation cycle for a long time that is different than what we have experienced over decades. That would lead to lower interest rates for a longer period, especially if the US economy continues a moderate growth and the EU and China remain slow, which is likely. Some implications: good for real estate and housing, good for stocks, bad for bonds, bad for debtors who hope for inflation to generate more dollars to repay outstanding debts. It also means the Fed has less tools to manipulate the economy. It will have to depend more on money supply than rates. It may be that we are now in the new industrial revolution of technology, and many of the old rules are changing as AI and other technologies make us much more productive, and much more knowledgeable. I believe this is what is occurring, and all the talk about the Fed and inflation, may have to be rethought. The era of strong economic growth in the EU is over, as it likely is for China. China will never fully recover from the mass move out of factories currently underway. The US will remain dominant so long as one of the Democrat crazies does not become president and take us back to high taxes, giant deficits, and over regulation. That is the biggest risk to US economic growth.
A friend sent me some interesting information on what is happening with the implementation of alternative energy, and how fast it might change things. While I disagree with what the author said as to the immediacy of drastic changes in cars, power generations etc, I got to thinking of the longer run implications of what happens when the inflection point does arrive, and oil and gas, and coal do stop being the main sources of energy. It is very possible it could be in ten years, or 15, or maybe not for 20 years. At the speed technology is changing, and politics across the world are pushing for an end to fossil fuels use, there is no way to really predict. The keys are battery capacity and cost to store energy for instant use on a very large scale, availability of minerals used to make high performance batteries, and large production facilities to make them. Over the past couple of years, the costs of solar and batteries has dropped materially, and will drop further. Likely there will some new technology we don’t even know about yet. There is a lot of research now to find that magic thing. Let’s assume we arrive at the inflection point where fossil fuels suddenly gets in much less demand, and prices for oil drop materially as demand drops. At some point it is not economic to frack or pump. The economies of the Middle East and Russia collapse. Civil unrest becomes out of control as there is no money to sustain standards of living. Russia and Iran, Iraq and others have nowhere to turn to generate the level of income needed. At least the Saudi prince is planning for it, and is way ahead of everyone on this. The world could get very ugly, very fast. We see what the sanctions are doing to Iran in less than one year. Expand that to all oil producers if alternative energy takes over. The economy of Permian and N Dakota collapse. As the oil and gas business slows, unemployment rises, maybe too rapidly for the workers to get reabsorbed and retrained in a high tech world that will exist. Companies like Haliburton and others dependent on oil services and machinery go bankrupt, farmers producing ethanol go broke. More thousands out of work. Major recession just as the world is in real turmoil as Russia and the Mideast collapse. Everyone in the supply and production chain of energy, oil field workers, gas stations, oil companies, utilities, machinery producers, etc., go out of business in a very short period of time. Not over night as in some mass earthquake, but once the inflection point is reached, and solar and wind and other new technologies become fully accepted and cost effective, then it can happen quickly. When politicians talk about a transition, they are naïve. At the inflection point it suddenly happens. Demand drops to the point that that the cost of production exceeds the price achievable, and then production collapses all at once. There is no time for a smooth transition. That is when the world goes into real crisis. The positive side is, if energy costs drop substantially, then the cost to run a car, home, factory etc drops, and consumers have more spendable income, and companies have greater margins to keep prices lower. Bottom line, we may save the climate, but the price could be millions killed in wars and revolutions, and due to poverty, which would reign across parts of the world and Russia. Environmentalist should be careful what they wish for. Nobody is thinking about all these ramifications of the end of fossil fuel. I have asked an economic analysis firm to think about staying this whole topic. You need to think about all of this.
Why is so little affordable and starter homes built? Simple. There is almost no margin in it for the builder or developer. They are all very busy these days and do not have to take low profit jobs just to stay alive. If you want affordable housing you need tax credits and or subsidies. Otherwise the buildings will be built cheap and fall apart in a few years, costing even more in the long run. As a result of a combination of high home prices, little starter home inventory, high student debt, and the requirement to have 20% down, and a fear home prices could drop again like in 2008, there are a lot of young people unwilling or unable to buy a home. There is also likely a culture thing going on where commitment to much of anything, not their job, nor place they live, are not a priority for many young people. If we are to bring some stabilization and pride to black areas, we need to return home ownership to them, and that will take subsidies and a new category of subprime mortgages held by Fannie or Freddie, but structured to be affordable and not the teaser and other crap loans of 2005- Maybe it is 50 year mortgages to reduce the monthly payments and still be current. 2007. Home ownership brings pride of place and a effort to keep the area free of drugs and crime and litter. Then if they can get black men to live with the mother, and act like a father, kids would stabilize and do much better in school and in life. Over 70% of black kids do not have a father in the home, and no sense of a normal family. That is a cultural disaster, and one of the root causes of the culture of failure.
Trump is right. Dems have run most major cities for decades, and Baltimore is the poster child for all the failure and corruption. Cummins home was even burglarized the night before Trump tweeted. It is near the top for murder rate, violent crime, drugs, holding back cops from cracking down, bad housing, miserable schools, with one of the worst student achievement records in the world, and it is ninth worst in the US for rats. And Cummings has done nothing but feed cash to the corrupt local leaders, which is how he retains his icon image and job. They are on their third mayor in a short time. The press and Dems scream racism because they do not want to confront the fact of failure, and what it has done to destroy generations of black kids. There is a video where even Cummins says it is drug infested. Or we can talk about Chicago murders and shootings where the cops are held back by an Obama police agreement restraining them. Or St Louis with the worst murder rate. Or Newark. The Dems like Cummings have been the worst thing that has happened to blacks since slavery. How many Dem mayors and city and state politicians are in jail. Lots. After all the poverty programs, urban renewal money, training programs, drug programs, nothing much has been accomplished in decades of Democratic leadership in these cities. Thanks to the teachers union which funds these Dem politicians, the black kids have no chance to succeed. Trump simply said, the king has no clothes, but the press and left refuse to admit what a failure these Dems have been for the kids who grow up there. The racists are the Dems and the teachers union who are condemning the black kids to a life of being left behind.
Other than Delany, not one of the Dems has ever managed a bird house, let alone a business, and none seems to have ever taken an economics class or an accounting class, or finance class. I never heard such absurd ideas, even from children. Some say the loopy Williamson was the star of the first night with her dark force comments. If that is true, the Dems are really in serious trouble. She seems to be someone who was not told the Woodstock concert ended decades ago, and she forgot to go home. How did she get on stage? After all the attacks on Biden in the second night, he looks weak, but likely the nominee.
The Dems are all kowtowing to Sharpton. Remember Twana Brawley, $4 million of unpaid taxes, black mailing companies, anti-Semitic remarks, and a myriad of other things like these. And yet they treat him like some kingmaker. It is sick.

5 )WALMART SHOOTER MANIFESTO
The Inconvenient Truth
About Me
In general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto. This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas. They are the instigators, not me. I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion. Some people will think this statement is hypocritical because of the nearly complete ethnic and cultural destruction brought to the Native Americans by our European ancestors, but this just reinforces my point. The natives didn’t take the invasion of Europeans seriously, and now what’s left is just a shadow of what was. My motives for this attack are not at all personal. Actually the Hispanic community was not my target before I read The Great Replacement. This manifesto will cover the political and economic reasons behind the attack, my gear, my expectations of what response this will generate and my personal motivations and thoughts.

Political Reasons
In short, America is rotting from the inside out, and peaceful means to stop this seem to be nearly impossible. The inconvenient truth is that our leaders, both Democrat AND Republican, have been failing us for decades. They are either complacent or involved in one of the biggest betrayals of the American public in our history. The takeover of the United States government by unchecked corporations. I could write a ten page essay on all the damage these corporations have caused, but here is what is important. Due to the death of the baby boomers, the increasingly anti-immigrant rhetoric of the right and the ever increasing Hispanic population, America will soon become a one party-state. The
Democrat party will own America and they know it. They have already begun the transition by pandering heavily to the Hispanic voting bloc in the 1st Democratic Debate.

They intend to use open borders, free healthcare for illegals, citizenship and more to enact a political coup by importing and then legalizing millions of new voters. With policies like these, the Hispanic support for Democrats will likely become nearly unanimous in the future. The heavy Hispanic population in Texas will make us a
Democrat stronghold. Losing Texas and a few other states with heavy Hispanic population to the Democrats is all it would take for them to win nearly every presidential election.
Although the Republican Party is also terrible. Many factions within the Republican Party are pro-corporation. Pro-corporation = pro-immigration. But some factions within the Republican Party don’t prioritize corporations over our future. So the Democrats are nearly unanimous with their support of immigration while the Republicans are divided over it. At least with Republicans, the process of mass immigration
and citizenship can be greatly reduced.
and citizenship can be greatly reduced.
Economic Reasons
In short, immigration can only be detrimental to the future of America. Continued immigration will make one of the biggest issues of our time, automation, so much worse. Some sources say that in under two decades, half of American jobs will be lost to it. Of course some people will be retrained, but most will not. So it makes no sense to keep on letting millions of illegal or legal immigrants flood into the United States, and to keep the tens of millions that are already here. Invaders who also have close to the highest birthrate of all ethnicities in America. In the near future, America will have to initiate a basic
universal income to prevent widespread poverty and civil unrest as people lose their jobs. Joblessness in itself is a source of civil unrest. The less dependents on a government welfare system, the better. The lower the unemployment rate, the better.

Achieving ambitions social projects like universal healthcare and UBI would become far more likely to succeed if tens of millions of dependents are removed. Even though new migrants do the dirty work, their kids typically don’t. They want to live the American
Dream which is why they get college degrees and fill higher-paying skilled positions. This is why corporations lobby for even more illegal immigration even after decades of it of happening. They need to keep replenishing the low-skilled labor pool. Even as migrant children flood skilled jobs, Corporat ions make this worse by lobbying for even more work visas to be issued for skilled foreign workers to come here. Recently, the senate under a REPUBLICAN administration has greatly increased the number of
foreign workers that will take American jobs. Remember that both Democrats and Republicans support immigration and work visas. Corporations need to keep replenishing the labor pool for both skilled and unskilled jobs to keep wages down. So Automation is a good thing as it will eliminate the need for new migrants to fill unskilled jobs. Jobs that Americans can’t survive on anyway. Automation can and would replace millions of low-skilled jobs if immigrants were deported. This source of competition for skilled
labor from immigrants and visa holders around the world has made a very difficult situation even worse for natives as they compete in the skilled job market. To compete, people have to get better credentials by spending more time in college. It used to be that a high school degree was worth something. Now a bachelor’s degree is what’s recommended to be competitive in the job market.

The cost of college degrees has exploded as their value has plummeted.
This has led to a generation of indebted, overqualified students filling menial, low paying and unfulfilling jobs. Of course these migrants and their children have contributed to the problem, but are not the sole cause of it. The American lifestyle affords our citizens an incredible quality of life. However, our lifestyle is destroying the environment of our country. The decimation of the environment is creating a massive burden for future generations. Corporations are heaing the destruction of our environment by shamelessly over harvesting resources. This has been a problem for decades. For example, this
phenomenon is brilliantly portrayed in the decades old classic “The Lorax”. Water sheds around the country, especially in agricultural areas, are being depleted. Fresh water is being polluted from farming and oil drilling operations. Consumer culture is creating thousands of tons of unnecessary plastic waste and electronic waste, and recycling to help slow this down is almost non-existent. Urban sprawl creates inefficient cities which unnecessarily destroys millions of acres of land. We even use god knows how
many trees worth of paper towels just wipe water off our hands. Everything I have seen and heard in my short life has led me to believe that the average American isn’t willing to change their lifestyle, even if the changes only cause a slight inconvenience.

The government is unwilling to tackle these issues beyond empty promises since they are owned by corporations. Corporations that also like immigration because more people means a bigger market for their products. I just want to say that I love the people
of this country, but god damn most of y’all are just too stubborn to change your lifestyle. So the next logical step is to decrease the number of people in America using resources. If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable.

Gear
Main gun: AK47 (WASR 10) – I realized pretty quickly that this isn’t a great choice since it’s the civilian version of the ak47. It’s not designed to shoot rounds quickly, so it overheats massively after about 100 shots fired in quick succession. I’ll have to use a heat-resistant glove to get around this. 8m3 bullet: This bullet, unlike pretty much any other 7.62x39 bullet, actually fragments like a pistol hollow point when shot out of an ak47 at the cost of penetration. Penetration is still reasonable, but not nearly as high as a normal ak47 bullet. The ak47 is definitely a bad choice without this bullet design, and
may still be with it. Other gun(if I get one): Ar15 – Pretty much any variation of this gun doesn’t heat up nearly as fast as the AK47. The round of this gun isn’t designed to fragment, but instead tumbles inside a target causing lethal wounding. This gun is probably better, but I wanted to explore different options. The ar15 is probably the best gun for military applications but this isn’t a military application.

This will be a test of which is more lethal, either it’s fragmentation or tumbling.
I didn’t spend much time at all preparing for this attack. Maybe a month, probably less. I have do this before I lose my nerve. I figured that an under-prepared attack and a meh manifesto is better than no attack and no manifesto
Reaction
Statistically, millions of migrants have returned to their home countries to reunite with the family they lost contact with when they moved to America. They come here as economic immigrants, not for asylum reasons. This is an encouraging sign that the Hispanic population is willing to return to their home countries if given the right incentive. An incentive that myself and many other patriotic Americans will provide. This will remove the threat of the Hispanic voting bloc which will make up for the loss of millions of baby boomers. This will also make the elites that run corporations realize that it’s not in their interest to continue piss off Americans. Corporate America doesn’t need to be destroyed, but just shown that they are on the wrong side of history. That if they don’t bend, they will break.
Personal Reasons and Thoughts
My whole life I have been preparing for a future that currently doesn’t exist. The job of my dreams will likely be automated. Hispanics will take control of the local and state government of my beloved Texas, changing policy to better suit their needs. They will turn Texas into an instrument of a political coup which will hasten the destruction of our country. The environment is getting worse by the year. If you take nothing else from this document, remember this: INACTION IS A CHOICE. I can no longer bear the
shame of inaction knowing that our founding fathers have endowed me with the rights needed to save our country from the brink destruction. Our European comrades don’t have the gun rights needed to repel the millions of invaders that plaque their country. They have no choice but to sit by and watch their countries burn. America can only be destroyed from the inside-out.
If our country falls, it will be the fault of traitors. This is why I see my actions as faultless. Because this isn’t an act of imperialism but an act of preservation. America is full of hypocrites who will blast my actions as the sole result of racism and hatred of other countries, despite the extensive evidence of all the problems these invaders cause and will cause. People who are hypocrites because they support imperialistic wars that have caused the loss of tens of thousands of American lives and untold numbers of civilian lives. The argument that mass murder is okay when it is state sanctioned is absurd. Our government has killed a whole lot more people for a whole lot less. Even if other non-immigrant targets would have a greater impact, I can’t bring myself to kill my fellow Americans. Even the Americans that seem hell-bent on destroying our country.
Even if they are shameless race mixers, massive polluters, haters of our collective values, etc. One day they will see error of their ways. Either when American patriots fail to reform our country and it collapses or when we save it. But they will see the error of their ways. I promise y’all that. I am against race mixing because it destroys genetic diversity and creates identity problems. Also because it’s completely unnecessary and selfish. 2nd and 3rdgeneration Hispanics form interracial unions at much higher rates than average. Yet another reason to send them back. Cultural and racial diversity is largely temporary. Cultural diversity diminishes as stronger and/or more appealing cultures overtake
weaker and/or undesirable ones. Racial diversity will disappear as either race mixing or genocide will take place. But the idea of deporting or murdering all non-white Americans is horrific. Many have been here at least as long as the whites, and have done as much to build our country. The best solution to this for now would be to divide America into a confederacy of territories with at least 1 territory for each race. This physical separation would nearly eliminate race mixing and improve social unity by granting each race self-determination within their respective territory(s).

This physical separation would nearly eliminate race mixing and improve social unity by granting each race self-determination within their respective territory(s).
My death is likely inevitable. If I’m not killed by the police, then I’ll probably be gunned down by one of the invaders. Capture in this case if far worse than dying during the shooting because I’ll get the death penalty anyway. Worse still is that I would live knowing that my family despises me. This is why I’m not going to surrender even if I run out of ammo. If I’m captured, it will be because I was subdued somehow.
Remember: it is not cowardly to pick low hanging fruit. AKA Don’t attack heavily guarded areas to fulfill your super soldier COD fantasy. Attack low security targets. Even though you might out gun a security guard or police man, they likely beat you in armor, training and numbers. Do not throw away your life on an unnecessarily dangerous target. If a target seems too hot, live to fight another day.
My ideology has not changed for several years. My opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for president. I put ting this here because some people will blame the President or certain presidential candidates for the attack. This is not the case. I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump’s rhetoric. The media is infamous for fake news. Their reaction to this attack will likely just confirm that.
Many people think that the fight for America is already lost. They couldn’t be more wrong. This is just the beginning of the fight for America and Europe. I am honored to head the fight to reclaim my country from destruction.
